LDAP-Ux Client with OpenLDAP Server?

[ricard_3]

Hello, I need to configure a client LDAP-UX Client (HP-UX 11i) for a OpenLDAP server.

LDAP-UX comes with a tool to configure the necessary schema and directory entries but not for OpenLDAP.

In OpenLDAP the installation of the schema there are manual. How somebody know? What are the steps to do this?

I'm lost, can somebody help me?

Thanks

There are a couple of interesting threads and manuals on this topic.

LDAP is a common standard and I think your goal is reaonable and achievable.

Thanks but previosly to send my post I readed the documentation that you recomend, but if I work to Netscape directory or Windows Active directory it's ok. For work with a OpenLDAP server HP offer limited support and I didn't find any example.

I know that the first step (if work with Netscape or Windows directory) is run the Setup. The second step is configure pam.conf. And another step is configure nssswitch.conf.

But I don't know the steps to do if I can't run the Setup. I modified the ldapux_client.conf adding this lines:

Service:NSS
LDAP_HOSTPORT="ds251.cesca.es:389"
PROFILE_ENTRY_DN="cn=root,o=ds251"
PROGRAM="/opt/ldapux/config/create_profile_cache"

But I don't know if this is suficient.

And I don't know if there are more steps after configuring nssswitch.conf

Can you help me?

Thanks

Hi ricard,

I found your post concerning LDAP and HP-UX.

We plan to install pam_ldap on our 11.0 system. Unfortunately we don't know what package to install and where to find that package.
